Ch. 1916..1920: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1916-1920

Chapter 1916

Zane turned around instinctively. He had not expected Nicole to be already there standing by the door.

Nicole had been thinking of how to break the news to Zane when she was walking, but to her relief she heard such words from Zane as soon as she pried the doors open.

Zane looked at Nicole like a father looking at his daughter. "Nicole, what are you doing here?"

Jared looked at Nicole as if he had been expecting her. 'I knew she would come personally.' Jared walked up to Nicole, and supported her before turning to Zane and saying, "Then I'll take you on Nicole's behalf."

Nicole looked up at Jared. 'He's just gotten Zane's approval and couldn't even hold his horses.' Nicole noticed Zane's embarrassment. She could not bring herself to speak.

"I'm sorry, Zane," Nicole blabbered out abruptly, finding herself apologizing.

Zane immediately shook his head. "No, don't be. I'm sorry I didn't let you go sooner." Zane had long since contemplated this issue when Nicole had returned to her family. He had been reluctant about it but now with Nicole being pregnant, it was inevitable. novelebook.comZane could not let Nicole take any more risks.

"You should've told me earlier," Zane said as he glanced at Nicole's stomach.

Nicole was immediately shy and looked back at Jared. "Did you break the news to him?"

Jared smiled. "Joyous occasions should be shared. After all, he can be considered the child's god- grandfather."

As soon as these words were said, Zane's expression softened. "Yeah, I can be the child's god- grandfather."

Through the eyes of everyone, they knew that Nicole and Zane had more than a subordinate-superior relationship. Zane treated Nicole like his own daughter. 'But isn't saying her child is like my own god- grandson a bit too much?'

Nicole looked at Jared. 'This guy is smart! Zane was already sad to have me go but turning the tables to have Zane be the god-grandfather had lightened up his mood.'

Nicole glanced at Zane who was in a better mood. She gave him a gentle smile. "Of course, you have all the rights to that."

Zane immediately called Nicole over and said, "Come sit down. We'll have dinner together. It's on me. No one can talk me out of this."

Jared smiled as Zane offered to buy them dinner. "Sure."

Nicole sat down with Jared's help, joining Zane. Zane enjoyed the dinner together with the couple and he kept giving his blessing to them.

It was not long until the meal was over. Zane had to head back to the base and thus he bid farewell to Nicole. Upon reaching the door, Zane said, "From now on, your withdrawal from the organization is effective. The future missions are the least of your worries now."

Nicole's eyes became gloomy. "Oh... I see...'

Nicole was reluctant to let that side of her go, but for the sake of her child, she had to let go of it temporarily.

"But if there's anything you need, both Jared and I will help you out." Nicole stared at Zane.novelebook.com The sudden reassurance made him feel more at ease.

"I know." Zane smiled. He was glad that Nicole had proposed this to him. He got in the organization's car and drove away.

Nicole watched as Zane drove away. 'I never thought I would leave the organization this way...'

Jared noticed Nicole's miserable look, and he brought her into a hug. "Don't worry about it. I can help Zane with the missions now."

Nicole nodded. "I understand that. It's just... I never expected myself to leave Zane and the organization so early. I feel like it's all my fault."

Nicole used to dream about following in the footsteps of Zane. Even her return to the Riddle family had not given her thoughts to give up. But given the circumstances, Nicole had no choice but to give up both Zane and the organization which were dear to her heart.

'This kind of feeling is like I'm abandoning Zane to fight this battle alone.' Nicole was uncomfortable as she thought about it.

Chapter 1917

Jared noticed Nicole's unwillingness to let go. He did not bring her directly back to the hotel.

"Let's go on a walk. I'll lead the way."

Nicole nodded, as she let Jared take the lead. The nightlife in Ramania was bustling. However, none of it lightened Nicole's mood. The couple walked until they reached a fountain where they watched the colored lights of the fountain change and the water bursting into the sky, some getting caught by the wind, before falling. The sight before them was soothing. Nicole's focus shifted a little.

"No one can be separated forever. In fact, Zane had been prepared for this for the longest time. He has the capability to accept all these changes," said Jared.

Nicole nodded. "I know. It's just that when he was leaving in his car earlier, I saw a trace of his hair turning gray..."

'For the longest time, Zane was a fighter who had never lost to young contenders challenging him. But when did he turn old?'

"The organization really needs people. If we all were to leave eventually, then Zane would really be left alone."

Jared raised his eyebrow. "Isn't Carl with him?"

Nicole shook her head. "The Turmann family wanted Carl back. He's been procrastinating about it.novelebook.com He didn't want to inherit his family's business."

It was unexpected that Nicole had left the organization before Carl did.

Jared sighed. "Since you're so reluctant to part ways with Zane, I'll do my part and persuade him to retire earlier."

As soon as these words came out, Nicole could not help giving Jared a blank look. 'Is this guy's brain fried? How could he even think of such things like this?'

However, talking about this had bizarrely improved Nicole's mood. She nodded subconsciously. "I suggest you look into it later."

Jared smiled. "Okay."

Their moods improved significantly as Jared held Nicole's hand as they walked back to their hotel.

'This trip to Ramania is officially over.'

The next day, the both of them were prepared to return back to San Joto on a private plane. Jared, on the other hand, was a little dissatisfied that his honeymoon was cut short.

'Our honeymoon turned into an execution mission,' Jared thought.

"Are you sure you want to go home like this?" Jared looked at Nicole with dissatisfaction written all over his face.

"Of course," Nicole replied, eating her fruit while looking out the window contentedly.

"Are you in a hurry to go back to school?" Jared looked even more dissatisfied. His facial expression was bitter.

"It's just for the wedding preparations, alright?" said Nicole, helplessly.

'I didn't have the time to think about these things before. Since Jared had declared I were to quit the organization, then of course, I have more than enough time to participate in this marriage preparation.'

"You think?" Jared was in disbelief.

"Of course, I have left the work to my mother and brothers before this, but now that I have some free time in my hands,novelebook.com I want to pick the hotel and my own wedding dress myself. This is normal, right?"

Jared smiled as he heard that Nicole wanted to make her own decisions. "You're finally starting to care about our wedding."

'Before this, Nicole had always resisted any initiative, but now seeing her taking the initiative...' Jared smiled as he thought about it.

"I thought you didn't care much about it, but the good thing is I have your wedding dress prepared."

Chapter 1918

Nicole raised an eyebrow. "Even if I don't care, you would have it ready anyway."

Jared pondered for a moment. "I just can't help myself; you know?"

From the engagement dress to the reception dress, Jared had been fretting over it in her stead. "Who knew my wife would not care about things like these?"

Nicole raised her eyebrows helplessly, and flipped her hair. "That's because my natural beauty makes me look good in whatever I wear. So why should I even bother, right?"

It was very unexpected for Nicole to speak such egotistical words. Jared stifled his laugh. "I really didn't expect my beloved wife to be so confident about her appearance."

Nicole heard Jared's sarcasm and began to ponder. "Of course, there are many things that I'm proud of."

Jared curled his lips into a smile. "Since you're preparing for the wedding, I won't be mad at you, but you have to take care of your body."

"Okay, don't worry about it," Nicole agreed.

However at this moment, Janus's frantic voice suddenly filled the cabin. "Mr. Johnston, there are other planes approaching us!"

Jared frowned. "Which direction is it coming from?"

No country would want to mess with them. Even if they were to approach, they would be detected on the radar.

"I'm not sure. It's a plain black helicopter," said Janus.

Upon hearing that, Nicole immediately thought of the black helicopter at the port of Lanningbourg. Nicole's expression immediately changed, knowing that there could be only one possibility.

'Perhaps... maybe they've come to avenge their leader? If that's the case, then it's quite impossible for them to bring no back up.'

"Jared, how many people do you have with us? Tell them to come out here to help us!"

Jared frowned. "We've already left Ramania's borders. Even if they were to fly here, it'd be completely impossible!"

Nicole gritted her teeth. She knew the truth, yet she knew she had to act anyway. "Let Janus change the direction and head back to Ramania."

'We can at least be safe in Ramania under Zane's protection. They should be able to help us.'

Jared read Nicole's expression and instantly knew something was wrong. He did not speak up but instead gave instructions to Janus. "Janus, turn around and go back to Ramania immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, their private jet changed its direction. Nicole and Jared could see all the black spots of the helicopters behind them. novelebook.com The number of helicopters in the sky was completely remarkable.

Jared immediately frowned. "Why are there so many planes?"

"It seems like I guessed right. The man in the face mask was a part of the same terrorist group we just took out."

'But then again, our whereabouts are kept confidential. There's no way they knew that we would be flying back to San Joto today,' Nicole thought.

"Are they here to get revenge?"

Nicole looked at Jared. "Not only that... but also this." Nicole tapped on her watch and the Fire Crest appeared.

"They failed to get it from me before, and ever since then, they hadn't made any advances. I was concerned that they've been waiting for an opportunity."

'Situations where both Jared and I are completely helpless are of advantage to them,' Nicole thought.

While she was speaking, she whipped out her phone and pressed the emergency button to send out their coordinates. Nicole took a deep breath before speaking calmly.novelebook.com "We've been flying out for about an hour now. If we can make it back in 20 minutes, Zane will definitely be able to pick us up... Otherwise, we'll be in danger."

Jared stretched out his hand to hold Nicole's hand. "We will make it back in time."

At this moment, Jared's eyes became determined.

Chapter 1919

'No matter what happens, I'll do my utmost to protect Nicole.'

At this time, the black helicopters caught a glimpse of their plane turning around. They did not waste time, chasing after them.

The masked man, who had one ear, had a face filled with hatred. "You dare try to escape?! Nicole, I'll kill you today!"

'For my ears... and my brother's life. I'll get my revenge on her!'

Janus noticed the black helicopters had sped up. He increased their speed, putting aside the safety in the cabin which caused a minor turbulence due to the airflow.

Nicole felt a little nauseous. 'Pregnancy really made me so fragile that I can't even go through with minor turbulence without feeling sick.'

Jared noticed Nicole's complexion was not looking too well and came to her side. "What's the matter? Nauseous?"

Nicole shook her head. "It's just a little uncomfortable."

Jared looked at Nicole with a distressed look, instantly regretting bringing her out for a trip. novelebook.com 'Never would I have thought that The Raven would be here.'

"The people I sent for are coming by jets too. We'll be okay. If you're feeling unwell, just lean on me."

"Okay." Nicole nodded and leaned toward Jared. They managed to shake The Raven off their tail.

The masked man was annoyed. "Hurry up and chase them! I don't care if we have to chase them till the end. Get close enough and shoot them down!"

The masked man had everything figured out. As long as Nicole died and the Fire Crest was in his hands, he would give up everything.

'I won't let a chance go by, not for her to live another day.'

"But sir, the sea is too vast..."

"No more excuses! Even if we die, we can't let them escape!"

'We're getting closer to the coastline, which gives them a bigger chance of escaping. I've waited so long for this opportunity. I can't have them escape again!'

"Yes, sir!" Everyone on board could only agree. Some started to zoom forward regardless of the wind speed, bumps in the air making them slow down. Helicopters were much slower than passenger planes.

"Sir! We can't catch up to them!" one of the helicopters reported.

"They're heading for Ramania! Change the route now! Get someone to intercept them!"

"Yes, sir!" Immediately, the helicopters changed their course and tried to intercept the plane.

At this time, Nicole whipped out her laptop and was trying to hack into their electromagnetic waves and positioning system. It did not take Nicole long to hack into their system. A wave of helicopters turning around to the coastlines of Ramania were shown on her screen.

Nicole's face became distressed. "Their choppers are equipped heavily with weapons. If we were to be shot by them, we'd lose control... Even if they want to intercept us, this will be very dangerous."

Jared stared at the laptop screen and said with a cold expression, "Look up and see what type of machinery they have."

Nicole raised her eyebrows as soon as she heard Jared's instructions. "What do you mean?"

Jared smiled. "My planes are all modified with rockets. As long as they're below C-level we can withstand them. B-level rockets are fine too as long as they don't hurt the engine, novelebook.com and A-level rockets can't bring us down immediately with just a single shot."

Nicole had not expected Jared to have modified the defense measures on their jet. "I didn't expect you to have such an impressive backup plan."

Jared smiled. "It's not only that. This jet has a missile defense radar system, but it hasn't been perfected yet so it can't be used."

Nicole was taken aback when she heard this. "There's a missile defense radar?"

"Yeah, but the cost is quite high," said Jared helplessly. "Since the technology hasn't been perfected."

Nicole smiled brightly. "Give me the key, I'll go have a look at it."

Jared's eyes brightened, 'Of course! Why hadn't I thought of that! Nicole might be able to perfect this system!'

 

Chapter 1920

"Okay." Jared pursed his lips, before handing the key over to Nicole.

Nicole quickly entered the aircraft's system. Nicole's face brightened as she entered the missile defense radar system. "This system is brilliant! All the latest versions!"

"Yes, the locating of missiles is quite accurate, but for the time being, this jet has yet to pass the legalization of weapons installation. So, it's quite useless now since it has yet to be perfected for the later phase."

Nicole raised her eyebrows and smiled. "I bet you don't know that even if you can't have weapons legally installed, things like radar have various uses."

Jared pondered for a moment. "What uses?" He was perked up, trying to listen intently to what Nicole was about to tell him.

"Those rockets on The Raven were all smuggled from the military. In other words, though their rockets don't have a radar system, novelebook.com they do come with radar functions..."

"What do you mean?" Jared seemed to have caught on to what Nicole had said.

"What I mean is... they have the artillery shells of missiles, but for us, we have the system to control it. If we can crack the radar system inside their rockets..."

Jared understood instantly, his face turning happy. "Then their rockets are ours!"

"Yes!" Nicole sneered, she felt like the heavens were helping her.

"I'll try it now to see if I can hack into their systems."

Nicole used the aircraft locator. 'As long as they don't launch these rockets, I still have time to modify their course.'

Nicole sped up as she thought this. Jared stared at Nicole. Confidence filled her face before she peered out the window with a solemn expression.

No less than ten minutes later, Janus' voice sounded through the intercom. "Mr. Johnston, there are enemy planes ahead of us. We're about to be outnumbered."

Jared's face expression hardened. "Go straight to them."

Jared was determined to try and bet on what level the opponent's rocket firepower was.

"Yes, sir." Janus nodded.

Jared pulled Nicole into a hug. "This might get a little bumpy. Brace yourself."

"Okay." Nicole nodded her head. While being protected by Jared, she continued cracking the system with ease.

The other party noticed that Jared's jet did not slow down. 'This fella must be crazy!'

"Sir, we've successfully intercepted them, but... their plane doesn't seem to be slowing down!" one reported to the man in the face mask.

The man in the face mask rolled his eyes. "What are you waiting for?! Shoot them down!"

'The last time this happened, she killed so many of my men but this time, I'll kill all of hers! I can't lose any more brothers of mine. novelebook.com Otherwise, I'd have nothing left,' the man in the face mask thought to himself.

"Yes, sir!" Everyone started to prepare their rocket launchers. It was not long before three to four rockets were fired toward Jared's jet.

"Mr. Johnston! They've fired a rocket!" Jared immediately pulled Nicole into a hug.

Two loud booms. 'It seems like we were hit by two rockets.'

Jared's jet trembled violently twice, before the smoke and dust dissipated. Nothing happened to them. Jared smiled. "It seems their rockets are nothing more than just shells."

Nicole also let out a huge sigh in relief. "Don't be complacent. I haven't cracked into their system yet. How long do you think our jet can withstand the attack?"

Jared knew but he could only solemnly say, "I can only try to delay the time."

"Endure for a while. I'll try it when they launch the next time," said Nicole.
